Wawa’s Energy Plan

With funding support from the Ontario government through the Municipal Energy Plan (MEP) Program of the Ministry of Energy, in 2016, the Municipality of Wawa completed the Wawa Energy Plan (WEP) in partnership with Algoma Power Inc. (API), the Economic Development Corporation of Wawa (EDC) and a myriad of community stakeholders. The Plan was identified as a priority in the Wawa Strategic Plan (2010) and the Wawa Municipal Business Plan (2015).

The Wawa Energy Action Plan outlines short, medium and long-term energy goals, objectives and recommended priority actions for implementation. Through community education and energy savings programs provided by the Municipality of Wawa and its partners, Wawa will decrease its energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

The EDC in partnership with the Municipality and Algoma Power received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in April 2016 to implement energy, water and waste reduction programs. The OTF project is a collaborative initiative of the EDC of Wawa, the Municipality of Wawa and Algoma Power Inc.

The Wawa Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan provides information on how the Municipality of Wawa will conserve energy. It outlines:

About Wawa

Welcome to WAWA, a small friendly Northern Ontario community situated conveniently on the Trans Canada Highway between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay in Ontario Canada. We’re often remembered for our famous Wawa Goose Monument…a giant 4 ton statue of the Canadian Goose which proudly stands at the entrance to our community. In fact, it’s reported to be the most photographed landmark in North America.
